DOI: 10.1002/jemt.23914
Abstract: Sperm metabolism is fundamental to sperm motility and male fertility. Its measurement is still in its infancy, and recommendations do not exist as to whether or how to standardize laboratory procedures. Here, using the sperm… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ygcen.2019.01.011
Abstract: In most cases, proteins affect the phenotype of the individual in which they are produced. However, in some cases, proteins have evolved in such a way that they are able to influence the phenotype of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/humrep/deab130.005
Abstract: Can we quantitatively determine concentrations of endocrine disruptors namely bisphenol A and S in seminal fluid? We developed selective analytical method to simultaneously screen for the presence of bisphenol A (BPA) and S (BPS). The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msz235
Abstract: Abstract Seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) mediate an array of postmating reproductive processes that influence fertilization and fertility. As such, it is widely held that SFPs may contribute to postmating, prezygotic reproductive barriers between closely related… read more here.

Can paternal effects via seminal fluid contribute to the evolution of polyandry?

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2020.0680
Abstract: Genetic benefits from mating with multiple males are thought to favour the evolution of polyandry. However, recent evidence suggests that non-genetic paternal effects via seminal fluid might contribute to the observed effects of polyandry on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/imb.12271
Abstract: The seed beetle Callosobruchus maculatus is a significant agricultural pest and increasingly studied model of sexual conflict. Males possess genital spines that increase the transfer of seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) into the female body. As… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/imb.12746
Abstract: While the striking effects of seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) on females are fairly conserved among Diptera, most SFPs lack detectable homologues among the SFP repertoires of phylogenetically distant species. How such a rapidly changing proteome… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jeb.13606
Abstract: The seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) transferred to mating partners along with sperm often play crucial roles in mediating post‐mating sexual selection. One way in which sperm donors can maximize their own reproductive success is by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/jeb.175976
Abstract: ABSTRACT The most common adaptation to sperm competition in males is represented by an increase in the sperm number and/or quality released at mating, to raise their probability of egg fertilization. However, rapidly mounting evidence… read more here.
